Which consequence results when strontium-90 undergoes beta decay in bone?

💡 Explanation

Beta decay emits electrons, causing ionization damage; because strontium-90 replaces calcium in bone, this concentrated decay damages marrow. Therefore, erythropoiesis reduces, rather than increasing collagen/hydroxyapatite formation because those processes don't directly involve marrow cells.
